Reaction to the resignation of Phillip Fulmer continues to come from different areas along the recruiting trail. Stone Mountain, Georgia linebacker and Vol commitment Nigel Mitchell-Thornton got the news earlier today and was blown away.

"I was very shocked about it," Mitchell-Thornton said. "I talked to him a few weeks ago and he told me not to worry so this is surprising. I'm still committed, but I'm going to look at other options."

Mitchell-Thornton's future is now in limbo. It's difficult on every recruit and he says that he's going to wait and see what Tennessee does before he decides to de-commit.
